Feeling so much respect and respect rn 💜
My cousin is a NICU nurse and she’s one of the most heroic people I know
Discussion
NICU people go above and beyond on the regular.
We don’t have kids yet, but both my wife and I are unfortunately familiar with serious, scary medical stuff.
My mom passed when I was a teenager, from ovarian cancer. Her mom had it too, but it took her getting diagnosed for our family to learn about the genetic (BRCA) component.
Doctors, nurses, hospice workers… honestly all are one of the easiest reasons to believe in the goodness of humans.
I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you mom. That must’ve been soul-crushing at such a young age.
Thank you 💜 it was really rough. In some ways, took years to get “okay”.
In other ways, I’ve been okay the whole time. She was her own kind of hero — she worked with severely special-needs children, and helped them to discover the ways they could shine. She would help them go to “normal” school, or otherwise find the right program and support, and she touched hundreds of lives.
She’s an angel for me without a doubt and I feel that every day ✨
